Hello there! I’m Hux aka Lizzie Huxley-Jones – author, editor and noisy person. Welcome to my booksy bsky, sorry about all the bad jokes. I write joyful stories about queer and disabled people, and I dabble in a bit of non-fiction too. You can find all my books so far in the thread below!
Hux, a white person with ginger bobbed hair, sits on a couch in a green leaf patterned suit, with pale pink flowers, over a cream embroidered shirt with a round collar. They are laughing with their eyes closed behind gold round glasses. Hux sits on a sofa, head turned to camera and smiling. They wear a daisy print jumpsuit and a green cardigan. Behind them is a stack of all their books. Hux, a white person with long brown hair, sits against an ivy covered wall. They wear a black leather jacket over a dress patterned with leaves, orange flowers and white rabbits. Dappled golden sunlight filters over them. The photo was taken by Jamie Drew.

Been in Massachusetts for a week and I need to tell youse that I accidentally got extremely drunk on dyed black margaritas and accompanied children trick or treating down a street of mansions with individual themes for treats and I will never get over it

anyway in case there are any apple guys here -

#apple #ios #iPhone #iPhoneHelp #HelpRequest
Since I got my new phone (16e) in August, I've had an issue on and off that's really annoying. Every now and again, I'll wake up and battery is drained a lot more than expected - usually go to sleep with it in the 80% range, and when this happens I wake up with it in the 40% Checked the battery settings, and the culprits are always Siri and "Home Accessories" each using around 10% of the battery in each hour. I've never used Siri in my life, and I don't have the voice command thing on, so it's not sitting listening for me to say something. I've also never used or even downloaded the Home app to my phone! When this first started happening I did download it once and did the whole "delete home" thing I saw someone say either here or on the apple help forum in case that helped, but deleted the whole app immediately afterwards. For a while it seemed that turning my phone off more often would help, so I started setting a reminder to turn it off once a day. But I just woke up this morning with my phone at 42% and Siri and Home Accessories had been doing their thing overnight again 🙄 Any ideas on how to fix it? It's usually not too big of an issue as I'm usually up in enough time to get it fully charged again before I have to go anywhere but I have a busy week with hospital appointments and need to be able to rely on my phone more

I was annoyed about people being annoyed about romance tropes so I got a little carried away for this week's newsletter.
OUT FRIDAY, DON'T FORGET TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE.
ihavenoplanforthis.ghost.io
Everyone hates tropes, everyone hates books being sold based on their tropes, everyone hates those graphics with all the little lines pointing to the tropes. No one wants to hear about enemies to lovers, fake dating, forced proximity, everyone thinks it's a sign of declining literacy, a readership that wants to be pandered to rather than entertained, stuff like this is why Rome fell or what the fuck ever. I'm not talking about tropes simply existing of course, tropes have always existed and we've all always been broadly fine about it. Mistaken identity, cross-dressing, secret twins – tell me which of Shakespeare's plays I'm talking about, I dare you. No, I'm talking about tropes being named and talked about and used as a reason to read a book. So this week I'm using my newsletter to tell us all to calm the fuck down. 1977 words

The news is out so I can finally point at this. Yes this is my publisher of the Vivi novels. I’m devastated that another company started to change things up in this industry has failed to thrive. I don’t know any more so pls be compassionate to the authors.

Independent children's publisher Knights Of set to close NEWS OCT 29, 2025 BY PHILIP JONES DI BOOKSUE LOGIN TOPICS NEWS RIGHTS COMMENT BESTSELLERS BOOKS SPOTLIGHT EVENTS The company - which as of 16th October ceased trading - is expected to go into liquidation during the week of 10th November. Shareholders include co-founder and MD Aimée Felone, co-founder Dee Stevens, and authors Robin Stevens and Sophie Anderson. No reason has been given for the collapse, though it is understood that KO had been talking to publishers about a potential sale for sometime. Knights Of would not comment when contacted by The Bookseller, except to confirm its closure. This week its offshoot bookshop Round Table Books - which is a separately run Community Interest Company - launched a fund-raising initiative to move into bigger premises. Knights Of was founded in 2017 by two former Scholastic employees, Aimée Felone and Dee Stevens. The company name is a reference to the Knights of the Round Table

*tosses another example onto the comedically large pile of examples showing how replacing spelling and grammar checkers with a statistical engine to find the -likely- word rather than the -correct- word and training said engine on everything everyone ever wrote online produces Not what's needed*

This is an utterly nonsensical way to report the really relieving news that Plaid Cymru, a party which espouses all sorts of liberal values including trans rights, etc. (and which isn't even mentioned in this headline!!!) won the election by a 47% landslide, well ahead of Reform as well as Labour.

Reuters: Britain's ruling Labour Party suffered a heavy electoral defeat in Wales, a traditional stronghold, in a result that highlights the threat posed by the Reform UK party, as the government struggles to revive the economy and ease fears about immigration

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes
Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast) Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

jasmine is £100 away from £11k, can anyone help her get there? £101 away from triple digits!

she’s flying out for surgery on the 10th, and having this funded by then would take a huge weight off

please donate anything you can!

I honestly believe that opposition to Me Too—or even willingness to mock it—is an indicator of personal moral rot and nascent conservatism. So far this has a 100% predictive accuracy.

A new study from the University of Melbourne has found that feminizing gender-affirming hormone therapy rewires protein composition in the blood to align more closely with a person’s gender identity.

My dog Nerys was too scared of the fireworks to go outside to pee but did bravely come out when I started loudly singing the fate of Ophelia (and practicing the dance) and she did a wee and everything.

Under Over Over - West Hampstead

So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains.

The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

I love Sweet n’ Low by Peach PRC and Wood by Taylor Swift and I especially love that they’re both songs about getting dicked down and dick puns that were made with two Swedish men.
